Three Kingdoms

People with a strong head are often admired. Because of their strong heads, they are often bruised and bruised. Occasionally, those who break through the thorns and stand out are people who can't help but cheer. Most of them forget about the scars and blood on their bodies, and it is easy to ignore the various flowers and fertilizers that died under the thorns.

And the direction most people choose is basically to compromise.

Huang Yueying chose to compromise for the sake of population prosperity. Liu Biao compromised on military power and allowed Cai to take the blame and make meritorious service. Cao Hong compromised on his reputation and provoked the Cao family to make money. Cao Cao compromised on personnel matters and sent a signal to Chen Qun and other groups of Yingchuan nobles. Looking at the cavalry general Fei Qian, he naturally also compromised, but what Fei Qian compromised was his own emotions and desires.

Although Huang Yueying has spoken, Fei Qian can't marry Cai Yan yet. It's not because Lang Qingqing is unintentional, but because Fei Qian must use Cai Yan's current name to do something before marrying Cai Yan.

Using people you like to make strategies for profit will make you feel a little uncomfortable. However, for the sake of the overall strategic layout, you have to do this, because as of now, under Fei Qian's rule, even though there are Zhao, Zhang, and Xu Wei Taishi There are many outstanding military generals, but they are all men, which is not helpful to the political system that Fei Qian is planning to implement in which women serve as officials and have the right to heir.

Only by pushing Cai Yan out first, and after serving for a period of time, and even waiting for other female officials to start to shine, can Fei Qian truly marry Cai Yan. Otherwise, he will inevitably suffer verbal and written criticism. At that time, not only Fei Qian will be slandered, but also Fei Qian will be criticized. Even Cai Yan was implicated, which must have been vicious language and insult to the ancestors. The keyboard warriors of the Han Dynasty were not much weaker than those of later generations.

At the same time, when withdrawing from the card of Cai Yan, we cannot say that we will completely let Cai Yan face the thorns. We must provide some protection for Cai Yan. In other words, it will be easier to set up another one next to Cai Yan. Target under attack.

for example……

……(.????.)づ……

In Chang'an, there is Zhenmi Villa.

Although the Zhen family has been living in Chang'an for a while, according to her previous habit in Jizhou, there is no way to avoid spending money on prosperity. However, the wealth she brought to Chang'an is not endless, so she unknowingly I began to feel the malice of life.

"Now that Mrs. Zhen is like this, mourning under the roof of others, she has completely lost her face!" Is it possible that we still need to show off our sexual skills and seek some clever tricks? ” Zhen Mi said angrily, “If Manager Li feels that Mrs. Zhen is unworthy, the annual contract he signed can be terminated. There is no need to refund the monthly salary, he can just leave! 』

Although it is said that Mrs. Zhen came to Chang'an with the intention of flattering the Hussar General, but if it was said that Mrs. Zhen was really like a prostitute and recommended herself to the Hussar pillow, Zhen Mi could not do it no matter what. Hearing that the steward suggested that she go visit Fei Qian again, and even vaguely suggested that she could dress up more gorgeously, Zhen Mi was somewhat irritated, and she immediately scolded her coldly.

When Manager Li heard Zhen Mi's words, he frowned slightly, feeling slightly displeased. Although it is said that the relationship between the steward and the Zhen family is subordinate, but unlike those so-called children of the Zhen family who came from Jizhou, Guanshi Li was originally from Chang'an. It was the Zhen family who came here specifically in order to have more convenient activities and connections in Chang'an. He will be hired after Chang'an.

In Manager Li's view, isn't Mrs. Zhen's only appearance and figure left now? Why bother showing off? In addition, the Hussar General now only has one wife and one concubine. If Zhen could use her appearance to entertain people and gain entry into the Hussar Hall, wouldn't it be hundreds of times better than what she currently has?

Butler Li cupped his hands and said, "This person is just a plot for the master's family. When the situation is urgent, he often makes mistakes and should be punished..."

Zhen Mi took a breath, calmed down a little, and then said: "If this is the case, Manager Li is worrying too much... General Hussar has a complicated matter. It would be inappropriate to go there rashly. If he stays for a few days, he will be like a horse." If you want to see me, you will naturally be summoned..."

Manager Li lowered his eyelids, "What the master said is true!" "You also know that the Hussars General has complicated affairs?" What will happen if I forget you by then, or if I have other things to do and leave Chang'an?

If you want wealth and honor, why should you sit back and wait?

However, since Zhen Mi was already like this and refused to listen to her advice, Manager Li was too lazy to say anything else. After a few promises, he excused himself to Zhen Mi and left on the pretext that he had something to deal with.

Zhen Mi's thin eyebrows wrinkled slightly, like ripples on the surface of a lake, and her expression changed many times, which was quite complicated for a while. I have been in Chang'an for some time, and I am somewhat more familiar with General Hussar's affairs than I was in Jizhou. Overall, regardless of other things, but personally, Zhen Mi also really admires the hussar general Fei Qian as a unique person.

Throughout the ages, successful people who started from scratch have always been admired and admired, and the same is true for Husband. He was born in a branch of the Fei family. When the imperial court was in chaos, instead of being drowned in the blood and rain, he rose through the wind and clouds, from being a mere disciple to being a powerful figure in the Guanzhong Pass. All of them were shaken and deeply moved.

Although the Zhen family is said to be incomparable to the family of the Four Generations and Three Gongs, it is not a white lady's family either. It has been known to the family since childhood that those who entertain people with sex will mostly have a bad life, just like things for people to play with for fun. , today is happy and tomorrow is boring, and the children of the gentry often do dirty things in the name of elegance. It is not uncommon for Zhen Mi to think that if one day she really becomes a flesh and blood toy, she can only show off her coquettishness, wouldn't she be like a street prostitute?

If we really fall to this, life would be worse than death!

Zhen Mi's eyes gradually dropped, and she couldn't help but also fell on her own slimness. Now that I am getting older and in my best season, this figure is like a peony about to bloom. The bright colors are really hard to hide. It is looming under the floating clothes, which makes people salivate.

Zhen Mi sighed quietly.

Nowadays, like a man with a jade in his arms, walking in the busy city, who knows that beneath the brilliance, there is unspeakable suffering?

Some things can be compromised, but some things are hard to compromise.

Just as Zhen Mi was sighing, a servant came to report that Mr. Wei's birthday was here.

If the Zhen family wants to establish a foothold in Chang'an, it is naturally impossible for them to do nothing. What's more, the Zhen family's business studies have to be prepared to get involved in the Chang'an business circle, so they will also communicate with the children of the indigenous gentry in Chang'an. Among the Chang'an gentry, Weidu and Li Sanjia couldn't avoid it.

Although Du Ji's people can be considered to be in high positions and are guardians of the mausoleum, they basically have no interest in merchants and only want scriptures and poems, so it is not easy for Zhen to get in touch with them. Although Li Yuan is now rebuilding the clan in Chang'an, adding industries, recruiting and expanding the Li family's assets, the personnel are now a bit mixed, and they are not very inclined to poetry or merchants, but Li Yuan is loyal to Hussar and sees Hussar. Qi did not make any definite arrangements for Zhen Mi, so he did not meet with Zhen Mi. After refusing several times, he felt that it was inappropriate to ignore her completely, so he sent someone to deal with the matter, which was the former manager Li, and then marked Manager Li is Manager Li and does not represent Li Yuan’s wishes.

In comparison, Webster seems to be more enthusiastic about Zhen, especially Wei Dan.

Female monarchs in the Han Dynasty were not as much imprisoned as in later generations. In the Tang Dynasty, they were even more powerful. It was not until the emergence of a female devil like Wu Zetian that things must turn against each other. Only then did the male powerful emperors who survived the disaster began to join forces with tacit understanding to suppress them. , and even added torture methods such as corseting and leg binding, as well as brainwashing techniques, and shackled the women layer by layer.

So from this point of view, even though Wu Zetian had various reasons at that time, or she had to do it, the bad consequences were definitely planted at that time, which made the daughters of China suffer for thousands of years.

Originally, men and women were not mutually exclusive, but complementary. It is inappropriate to abandon one party and elevate the other. It is overcorrection and even more wrong.

The customs of the Han Dynasty were inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. We were used to seeing relatives, the Queen Mother, etc., and having women come and go on a regular basis, and showing up would not attract gossip.

Wei Dan was wearing a brocade robe. When he saw Zhen Mi's figure appearing in the courtyard gate, he quickly stepped forward, held his hands in his hands and said, "My dear five ladies, please come out to greet me. This is polite..." There are four sisters above Zhen Mi. , naturally ranked fifth, but the name Wu Niangzi was a common name in the Han Dynasty, but in the eyes of some hopeless people in later generations, it changed.

There seemed to be movement in the depths of Zhen Mi's eyes, but she also gave a slight salute: "Fang Ziyan visited your mansion again, but I didn't expect my brother to come first. It's really rude..." Although Zhen Mi is a woman, there is no hesitation in her words. She did not stick to the appearance of a little girl, but was quite generous. She raised her hand and invited Wei Dan to sit in the hospital. He also said with a smile, "Brother Wen Shi has to enter the court and get close to the center. He must be favored by the hussars. It's really impressive." envious. 』

Wei Dan raised his head and laughed, looking somewhat proud. Wei Dan was good at writing, so he was awarded the position of secretary. Although the position of secretary is minor, he often needs to copy government decrees, translate texts, etc. It can be said that it is easier to access some core contents, plus It often appears in front of noble people, so it is also considered a starting point for noble people.

"How can you, God of writing documents, be as pleasant and comfortable here as the Fifth Lady?" "Wei Dan said with a smile, "These days all the hussars are busy with the general ceremony, I'm afraid they don't have time to pay attention..."

Although the Zhen family can be called a big family in Jizhou, and can influence the situation of Jizhou with every move, but it is not a prominent family between Beijing and Zhaozhou. If you want to establish roots in Chang'an, it may not be easy even if you have a lot of wealth to pave the way. What's more, if there is no cover, the amount of money suddenly revealed will attract the covetousness of others.

Zhen Mi wanted to open up a situation in Chang'an, but she didn't expect that when she arrived, the Hussars had already been dispatched to attack Yuzhou. Then Mrs. Huang, who was naturally lukewarm towards Zhen, ignored her after meeting her once. Regardless of asking, Zhen Mi was somewhat embarrassed. Even some of her original business dealings with the Guanzhong gentry became a little indifferent due to Huang Yueying's attitude.

Many of the Zhen family's properties belong to Jizhou, and they don't have much of a presence in Chang'an. This time they came to Jingzhao and tried to start a new business next to General Hussar's couch. In fact, this was because the original investment in Yuan Shao was a complete failure. , the family business suddenly entered a dead end, and Cao Cao's aggressive momentum, coupled with the Jizhou nobles taking advantage of the situation, was in dire straits and had to seek foreign aid.

However, it is just a merchant's family, and she is still a woman. Even if the Han Dynasty did not pay too much attention to the so-called female head of household, it is still somewhat inconvenient. It is natural to imagine the neglect and contempt it receives. There are not many people who are really willing to help. There are many, and there are not many who are trying to get some benefits and gain some advantages at the same time.

Just like Manager Li who was sent by Li Yuan to help him before, he was also outspoken. He almost said that since Zhen Mi wanted something from Hussar, why bother to put on airs and just go up and lie down...

The reason why Zhen Mi was angry was not only because she did not want to become a flesh toy, but also because she was a little scared. After all, those who achieve great things are often not addicted to women. Many times, even if they dote on a certain woman, it is just temporary pleasure, and what follows is often discarded like worn out shoes. And by that time, on the one hand, the appearance No more, on the other hand, I am like a duckweed, with no roots and no attachment. When it comes to that, it is really the greatest sorrow in the world!

At the same time, the reason why Zhen Mi did not take the initiative to meet Qiao Qi was because it was still unknown, just like the lid of a dice has not yet been lifted, so the size has not yet been determined. Naturally, it is also a deterrent to those around her who covet her appearance. If If you really open the lid, it's okay to open a large one. If you open a small one, there's no doubt that the surrounding vicious wolves will pounce on it and bite it in the blink of an eye!

Just like Wei Dan.

Zhen Mi naturally knew what Wei Dan was thinking. Even without looking, she could tell that Wei Dan's eyes were like those of a thief, lingering on her face, waist, chest and buttocks.

Even though Wei Dan tried his best to hide it, Zhen Mi had seen a lot of the greedy desire in his eyes since she was a child. How could it still be unclear?

Women naturally mature earlier than men. In addition, when young men see beautiful women, their blood tends to flow downwards, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the brain. Not to mention some obstacles in their movements, their intelligence index often drops a lot. In fact, Wei Duan had already told Wei Dan not to get close to Zhen Mi until the dust settled. However, Wei Dan was young and full of energy. It would be fine if he didn't see Zhen Mi at all. He really saw the comparison between people. Huajiao, with a slender figure that is trembling and blooming, and a face with pure and clear eyes, I feel that the so-called beautiful maids in the family are simply dust, while Zhen Mi is the floating immortal!

All in all, female sex is like crow's poison to young people. Although they know it's wrong, they can't stop wanting it. Wei Dan can't control his three, uh, two legs, running around in circles, and running around again whenever he has free time. Arrive at Zhenmi Mansion.

Zhen Mi wants to borrow the strength of Hussar, but she also knows what it means. Not to mention that Hussar is in a high position and may not care about the life and death of a merchant family that is already on its way out. Moreover, from Huang Yueying's meeting Said, I am afraid that even if you are not a hussar, you are also a little henpecked...

Otherwise, for so many years, Hussar was still young and strong, but he didn't have many romantic affairs.

This is indeed a headache.

Zhen Mi wanted to get more information about the Hussars, but it was obviously impossible to stay alone in the courtyard, so even if she found Wei Dan annoying like a caterpillar, she still needed to greet him with a fake smile and make some inquiries from the side. Some information about Fei Qian's whereabouts and actions can be used as a basis for judging his next move.

Hussar's wife, Huang, was undoubtedly highly regarded by the Hussar general, and the reason for this respect, Zhen Mi felt, was that Huang was good at armor and weapons, which no one could replace.

There are also rumors that Xiuqi and Cai Yancai are having an affair. Zhen Mi feels that if Xiuqi really intends to marry Cai, it may not be because of the so-called color, but more importantly than Cai's talent and learning...

And what can I do that can make the hussar appreciate him?

The key is that most of Zhen Mi's family's business affairs are closely related to Jizhou. This was naturally a good thing before. After all, Jizhou is the most populous county in the world, but now it has become a kind of restriction. It is difficult for Zhen to say that she wants to change her family. Transformable.

Therefore, for the Hussar, having the Zhen family may just provide an additional source of income, but for the Zhen family, the name of the Hussar is an important help in overcoming difficulties.

The difference in severity is naturally obvious.

It is undoubtedly the most despicable thing to do to recommend oneself to one's pillow mat.

There are many women in the Zhen family, and even among other Jizhou noble clans, who think that they can use some tenderness to win over the iron-hearted man. However, most of them end up with nothing in life and money, and some even lose their money. She was sold into a brothel by a ruthless man and died of bullying.

"By the way, it's very special to hear that Qiao Qi was awarded this title. I wonder if the Fifth Lady heard about it..." Wei Dan didn't know how many thoughts were passing through the heart of the beautiful woman who was smiling across from him. He only felt that Zhen Mi was as pure as black jade. He cast his eyes over, eager to show off everything he had in order to win the beauty's laughter, so he naturally told the news he had heard in the past two days to show off.

"Brother Shi is joking, Mi comes from a local place and lives in a deep courtyard. How can he know about the important events in Guanzhong?" If it weren't for the fact that Shixiong, remembering the old friendship between the two families, kept moving around a lot, there would be almost no news about Mi..."

Zhen Mi bowed her head slightly and saluted Wei Dan. The supple neck she inadvertently exposed showed a warm jade color in the light, almost suffocating Wei Dan.

"Ahem..." Wei Dan coughed to cover up his gaffe, and then said, "I am dissatisfied with the Fifth Lady. My father is also behind in his official career, and the family has been in the cold for a long time. Now he has to get better, otherwise the Fifth Lady's affairs will be bad." So troublesome? But there is no need to worry, now the Hussar wants to hold another grace test, which is scheduled to be held after the general ceremony to promote talented people from the countryside! Even if a certain person is not talented, he can still show his ambition. If he can show it at that time, he will definitely help the fifth lady to establish herself in Beijing! 』

"The hussar wants to give a test of grace?" ” Zhen Mi did not acknowledge Wei Dan’s heroic words, nor did she reject them. Instead, she asked.

"Exactly!" Wei Dan had no doubt that he was there, and was still immersed in the imagination of spreading his wings. "The hussars have orders, and there are great sages in the countryside. However, the world is in chaos, and the upright Chinese people work together to help them, and they are afraid of being deceived by thieves." People in the world, under the guise of fame, are actually causing trouble, so they take the emperor's favor test. Anyone who is talented and learned can take the test. If they really have a beautiful heart, they should be worshiped and pastor the place. If they want to be an official in Xijing Those who want to go to Guanzhong, and those who want to surrender to Shandong, should also be recommended before His Majesty Danjie! 』

Zhen Mi was stunned for a moment, then glanced at the maid next to her. The maid next to her, who looked as docile as a little rabbit, understood immediately, stepped forward and apologized, saying: "Fifth lady, the nun in the courtyard has something important to report..."

"The distinguished guest in front of you, how can you be so ignorant!" ” Zhen Mi pretended to scold Wei Dan, and then apologized to Wei Dan, “I’m rude today, but I hope that Brother Shi will respect you... It just so happens that the family has newly acquired grape peach wine, which can be used to repay Brother Shi’s friendship... ”

Wei Dan quickly declined, and when he saw Zhen Mi getting angry, he accepted it, turned back three times, and left reluctantly.

When Zhen Mi saw Wei Dan walking away, she stopped smiling, frowned and exposed half of her fingers from her sleeves, as if she felt uncomfortable even showing more of them. She pointed to the mat where Wei Dan had been sitting and said, "Quickly take it to the backyard." , burn it! 』

The personal maid stepped forward, rolled up the mat with her fingers, and said angrily: "This person is so rude!" How can I let her call me "Five Lady" lightly? It's really disgusting that greedy people think they are romantic..."

Zhen Mi shook her sleeves and asked the maid to take away the disgusting mat quickly, but she was thinking in her heart that the Hussars General's move might have a profound meaning...
